It's a good song but I prefer Lucie Jones's effort from last year and although it did OK with the Juries (even getting 12 points from the Aussie jury) the voting public ignored it. I fear that will happen again going by a lot of the comments I have seen from Eurovision fans across Europe. Many of which are saying that we shouldn't be in Eurovision as we don't want to be in the EU anymore.

The two are not related at all as many non EU countries participate in Eurovision.

We always scored well and often finished in the top five until the turn of the century. Those days are long gone.

It's been said that part of the problem is that we always send unknowns to the contest, rather than people that people have heard of. Many of the recent Eurovision winners have already had recent hits

We went through a stage of sending "big names" (I use that term loosely) and they didn't do well either. Blue came 10th, Englebert came last, Bonnie Tyler came 19th. Even Electro Velvet were known in some parts of Europe and they came 24th with just five points. It can be said that the songs were complete tosh but they were artists that were well known.

I don't know what the solution is. The voting public just don't want to pick up the phone for the UK anymore.

They weren't current chart acts though, a singer/band who'd had hits in Europe in recent years

A known act and a decent song. Surely it can't be that hard

The problem is that the UK doesn't take Eurovison seriously, whereas the rest of Europe does. That's probably our downfall. All the time we poke fun at it (especially the way Terry Wogan did and now Graham Norton) we will never get serious chart acts to take part.

Yes.We go straight into the final as one of five countries that pay the most into the EBU. Personally, I think we are disadvantaged by that as all but one winner recently has come from the semi final heat. If I recall correctly, oly Germany have won as one of the big five since the semi finals were introduced in 2000.

And yet every year we pay money not to have to prequalify!

nothing new there we've been paying money to be part of something european for a long time
